0 Comment on this What Are the Best Characters in Apex Legends?
Unlike many battle royales, Apex Legends emphasizes team synergy, making the criteria for "best" characters unique—similar in some ways to hero shooters. (For example, see how Marvel Rivals' seasonal changes impact gameplay [link]). Instead of a traditional tier list, we'll rank Legends from most to least effective. Skill always plays a crucial role, but this list prioritizes Legends that consistently provide a winning edge.
